Michigan State Football Announces Big Ten Media Day Representatives

The Michigan State University football team announced who will represent the team at Big Ten Media Day in a few weeks.

There are still a few weeks until Big Ten Media Day and the Michigan State football team has finally announced who will represent this year’s team at the event in Indianapolis.

The Spartans Twitter account tweeted that Jack Velling, Nate Carter and Dillon Tatum would be at Lucas Oil Stadium on July 24.

Honestly, these three choices couldn’t be better as there is a good mix of players. There is one Spartan who has been with the program for a few years (Tatum), another who joined last season (Carter), and another who just joined the program this offseason (Velling). Each of them has a different perspective on what it means to be a Spartan and I believe that is why Jonathan Smith chose them.

Of course, it would have been easy to send the quarterback, but it seems like Smith wanted to stick with the older students.

Tatum has been at Michigan State the longest, and I’m sure he’ll be asked about the rivalry with Michigan now that his former defensive backfield colleague Jaden Mangham has moved on to the Villains. Carter has the potential to be a shooting star in the backfield, but has been plagued by a mediocre offensive line and a coaching change in 2023. And Velling is one of the best tight ends in the country, following Smith from Oregon State.

Michigan State will be well represented here by three strong individuals, all of whom possess leadership qualities.

There are no real surprises in the selections, although I am a little surprised that Jordan Hall or perhaps another veteran linebacker like Jordan Turner or Cal Haladay aren’t included. But I like the mix of guys Smith chose.

Michigan State football fans can’t wait to hear what they have to say about the upcoming season.
